In the Land of Rain, on a mountain near the border of the Land of Fire, there was a newly established Ninja camp. This was the new frontline stronghold of the Rock Village.
The location of the stronghold was obviously carefully selected by the Rock Village. It was the only high ground within a radius of more than ten kilometers. With the advantage of the high ground, in addition to being easy to defend and hard to attack, it was also a good place to monitor the surrounding environment.
After the Rock Village broke through the defense line of the Wood Leaf Village, after a few days of sporadic fighting and sweeping, they finally pushed all the way to the border of the Land of Fire and Rain.
The entire camp on the top of the mountain was surrounded by a thick earth wall that was as high as two people. Every distance, there was a tall turret, guarding the barracks, warehouses, and other facilities in the camp.
The earth walls, turrets, and other defensive buildings were all built using Earth Release Ninjutsu.
For the Rock Village who are good at using Earth Release Ninjutsu, this wasn't a difficult thing.
As we all know, there are two ninja forces in the continent that are good at building camps, one is the Wood Leaf Village, and the other is the Rock Village.
In the entire Rock Village's camp, the most eye-catching place, in addition to the defensive buildings built using Earth Release Ninjutsu, was a tall banner erected in front of the camp.
On the banner, there was a strong word "Earth" written in bright yellow paint, which represented the Tsuchikage's flag.
The 3rd Tsuchikage, Onoki, also moved his frontline command post from the back of the Land of Earth to this newly built stronghold.
On another mountain, some distance away from the Rock Village's camp, the dense jungle was a natural hiding place for ninjas. At this time, a team of three Wood Leaf Ninjas were hiding on the edge of the jungle.
Among the three scouts of Konoha, one of them is a Hyuga Clan Ninja with the Dojutsu type Kekkei Genkai – Byakugan, his name is Hyuga Kenmu. The other two are also from the famous clans of Konoha. One is an Inuzuka Clan Ninja named Inuzuka Taro, and the other is an Aburame Clan Ninja named Aburame.
Hyuga, Inuzuka, and Aburame are Wood Leaf Ninjas who are good at using investigative Ninjutsu. This is one of the few elite scouts under Kato Mitsukaze who are good at tracking.
At this moment, the three Wood Leaf Ninjas in the Wood Leaf Scout Team were doing their own jobs.
Among them, the most eye-catching one was Hyuga Kenmu, his hands were forming a complicated seal in front of his chest, and the two Byakugan eyes on his face were glaring.
From the corners of his eyes to his temples to the back of his ears, a large number of blood vessels and meridians bulged due to the gathering of Chakra, as if half of his cheeks were covered with wriggling blue earthworms, making his whole face look very ferocious and terrifying.
Byakugan: Distant Vision and Byakugan: X-Ray Vision, the combination of the two is a compound investigative Dojutsu.
Distant Vision is one of the basic abilities of the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan Dojutsu. It uses Chakra to multiply the ability of the eyes, and the eyes can see things within a kilometer radius.
X-Ray Vision is one of the basic abilities of the Byakugan. With the Byakugan, the user can see the target's meridians, meridians, bones, and Chakra flow. Of course, it can also see through ordinary objects.
Hyuga Kenmu is a long-distance scout who specializes in long-distance reconnaissance. He developed his Byakugan ability through hard practice and improved the range of his Distant Vision. Ten kilometers away, the Third Tsuchikage's Big Flag was clearly visible.
In the Rock Camp on the top of the mountain, Onoki took advantage of the rare sunny day in the Land of Rain to inspect the newly built camp, and he just happened to walk under his Big Flag.
Onoki floated in the air, leisurely flying in front of many Rock Ninjas, and from time to time, he turned his head and said a word or two to his subordinates behind him.
Hyuga Kenmu who was observing with his Byakugan saw a large wave of Rock Ninjas appear under the Big Flag, and his eyes were immediately attracted to Onoki, who was the most eye-catching.
Unique short stature, unique flying ninjutsu, and the Tsuchikage hat on Onoki's head. Every information he saw in his field of vision was explaining to Kenmu that this person was the Third Generation Tsuchikage.
Onoki, who was talking with his subordinates about the layout of the camp's defense facilities, faintly noticed that someone was looking at him from a distance.
Someone was peeping at him!
Onoki didn't think that he had an illusion, on the contrary, as a veteran Kage level ninja, he believed in his sensing ability, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to survive from the chaotic Warring States Period until now, and firmly sit on the throne of the Third Tsuchikage.
Before Onoki could carefully determine where the peeping came from, the feeling of being peeped at disappeared.
At the hiding place of Konoha's scout team more than ten kilometers away, after seeing Onoki's figure with the Byakugan, Kuuga Kenmu didn't even think about it and immediately retracted the Chakra in his body that supported the Ninjutsu. The prominent blood vessels and meridians on his face began to shrink, and the terrifying face returned to its normal appearance.
"How is it? Are you sure? "
Inuzuka Taro, who was guarding on the side, saw his teammate withdraw his ninjutsu and quickly asked.
This time, the elite Wood Leaf Scout Team took the risk to get so close to the Rock Camp to investigate, and the purpose of the mission was to confirm whether the Third Tsuchikage Onoki really came to the front line.
As early as a few days ago, Wood Leaf's frontline troops reported an unconfirmed information to Kato Mitsukaze, and it was suspected that they saw the flag of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki on the front line.
In order to confirm the authenticity of this information, Kato Mitsukaze sent the Hyuga Kenmu Scout Team here, and the three of them have been lurking on this hill for nearly three days.
If it wasn't for the weather today, and Onoki came out of the tent to inspect the newly built camp, they wouldn't have been able to see him with their own eyes.
"It is indeed the flag of the Tsuchikage, we have been hiding here for so long, and I just saw the figure of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki with my own eyes, he is short, and he can freely float in the air with flying ninjutsu, it can't be wrong! It is him! "
Hyuga Kenmu took several deep breaths to calm down the slightly chaotic Chakra in his body, and then answered his companion's question.
Using the Byakugan to observe things in the distance for a long time, even if he is an elite of the Hyuga Clan who is good at reconnaissance, it is still a big burden on his body.
Not to mention the consumption of the Byakugan's power, in order to avoid the various detection ninjutsu and barriers in the Rock Camp, he needs to consume a lot of Chakra.
A scout, whether he is an elite or not, in addition to the ability to observe and investigate, it is more important to hide his whereabouts. The reason why Kenmu immediately took back his ninjutsu when he saw Onoki's figure was that he didn't want Onoki to notice that he was peeping.
The intuition of a Kage level powerhouse is very sensitive, Kenmu felt it from his own frontline leader Kato Mitsukaze.
What's more, in Kenmu's perception, his own frontline leader Kato Mitsukaze's strength has just stepped into the threshold of a Kage level powerhouse. And Onoki is a veteran Kage level powerhouse who has been famous in the ninja world for many years.
In his perception, Onoki is a veteran Kage level powerhouse who can be compared with Yuanfei RIzhan.
Even if he took back his Byakugan ninjutsu the moment he saw Onoki, Kenmu wasn't sure if he was discovered by Onoki.
Thinking of this, Kenmu said to his two companions:
"The information obtained before is true, immediately send the news back to the Northern Command, I'm not sure if we were discovered by Onoki or not, we need to move quickly, we need to retreat immediately!"
Both Inuzuka Taro and Aburame immediately recovered from the joy of confirming the accuracy of the information, without any nonsense, they began to move quickly.
Inuzuka Taro took out a blank scroll from his ninja tool bag, after quickly writing the information in a password, he took the scroll and looked at the giant gray ninja dog who has been following him.
The ninja dog understood the meaning of its master, stepped forward and bit the scroll, then opened its mouth and swallowed it into its stomach, and then ate a black pill that was fed to its mouth by its master.
The ninja dog barked twice at its master, and with a bang, it disappeared in front of the scout team.
Reverse Summoning Jutsu.
The ninja dogs of the Inuzuka Clan also belong to the Psychic Beast Clan, and they have their own special Psychic Space, when necessary, they can transmit messages remotely through Psychic Jutsu and Reverse Psychic Jutsu.
However, compared to the more powerful Psychic Beast Clans in the Shinobi World, the Psychic Space of the Inuzuka Clan's ninja dogs is artificially built, and it is more expensive for the ninja dogs.
While Inuzuka Taro was busy, another member of the team, Aburame Shinobi, was not idle.
The place where the three of them were hiding was covered with a large number of parasites, and after a while, they gathered into a large swarm.
Under the command of Aburame Shinobi, the dark swarm quickly swept through the hiding place where they had been hiding for three days.
After the swarm of parasites swept through, all traces of the three people's activities were cleaned up, and the place was restored to the way it was before they came.
After finishing the cleaning work, the swarm quickly flew into Aburame's sleeve and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if they were never there.
While his two companions were busy, Hyuga Kenmu quickly swallowed a Soldier Food Pill and closed his eyes to recover the Chakra in his body. When he opened his eyes again, his two teammates were already ready and waiting for him quietly.
"Let's go!"
"Okay."
Without wasting any time, after two short conversations, they finally turned their heads and looked at the Rock Camp on the top of the mountain more than ten kilometers away, and the three figures quickly disappeared from the hiding place where they had been hiding for three days.
The whole process was very long, but in fact, from the time Hyuga Kenmu retracted the Byakugan Dojutsu to the time when the three figures disappeared, it was only a few minutes.
If it wasn't for Hyuga Kenmu digesting the Soldier Food Pill, it may have taken less time.
In the Rock Camp, Onoki was very sure that the feeling of being spied on wasn't his illusion, but because the enemy who was spying on him didn't use Peeping Ninjutsu, he couldn't feel it.
Onoki wasn't a ninja who was good at sensing, but it didn't mean that he didn't know any sensing Ninjutsu.
Leaving his subordinates beside him, Onoki controlled the Chakra in his body to fly higher, and in the blink of an eye, he landed on the top of the flag.
Flying high, Onoki looked around the Rock Camp, and with the intuition of a Kage level ninja, Onoki quickly locked on to the mountain more than ten kilometers away.
The general direction was determined, but the specific location of the enemy needs to be confirmed with detection Ninjutsu.
Onoki flew down from the flag, and after landing, he began to use the Chakra in his body, and the huge Chakra extended from his feet to the ground under his feet.
Because of the perennial rain, the soil on the ground is very moist, even if Onoki was on the mountain at this time, he could feel the moisture in the ground under his feet through Chakra.
The excessive water in the ground caused a certain impact on Onoki's Ninjutsu, so he increased the input of Chakra under his feet.
The soil around Onoki began to roll and deform, and under the control of his Ninjutsu, a large amount of soil and stones began to pile up, squeezing out the excess water, and gradually forming a huge ear-like model.
After the ear-like model was formed, Onoki controlled it to aim at the mountain he had locked on before, like a giant bowl on the flat ground.
This is the unique detection Ninjutsu of the Rock Village, Earth Release: Diting Detection Technique.
Ordinary Rock Ninjas use this Ninjutsu, most of them lie on the ground and use their ears close to the ground to launch the Ninjutsu. The more advanced ones, like Onoki, use soil and stones to create an ear model.
However, Onoki is obviously using the enhanced version of Earth Release: Diting Detection Technique, and he is the only one in the entire Rock Village who can use such a large ear-like model.
The Rock Shinobis around Onoki, after seeing the giant ear-like model, obviously knew what their leader was doing. Although at this time they had a lot of questions to ask, they all held their breath and tried to create a quiet environment for their leader.
For a while, there was no other sound around Onoki, except for the sound of the flag fluttering in the wind, the surroundings became silent.
Invisible sound waves can be transmitted through the earth to farther places, and under the control of Onoki's Chakra, the sound from the mountain more than ten kilometers away was transmitted through the giant ear-like model to the Rock Village's camp.
The sound of birds and beasts, the rustling of trees and grass in the wind, the sound of mountain springs and rain … all kinds of sounds in nature gathered together.
Among the many complicated sounds, Onoki closed his eyes and listened carefully, carefully distinguishing the sound he was looking for.
"Pata …"
"Pata …"
"Pata …"
There were three sets of footsteps with different timbre.
The footsteps were faint at first, but after a while, under Onoki's precise control, his huge earthen ears were able to block out the noises, and the three sets of footsteps were clearly audible to the Rock Shinobi present.
Onoki, who had his eyes closed, opened his eyes and said, "Found you!"
